tfl;dr:
Be careful when subbing out similar relays. Don't use a "2 coil" relay.
Nothing bad will happen, it simply won't work.

Simple version: don't use the series with "L2" in its name.
I tried Panasonic TQ2-L2-5V, when the correct relay was out of stock,
and it didn't switch. (Actually, it would switch between effect and silence but never dry bypass.)

I swapped the relay with the specified TQ2-L-5V
and it works great! One "L," not two baby.

And that's the only thing I changed so I'm pretty sure that was the culprit.

Captain Obvious, out!

I bought some MN3007's on ebay before discovering the epidemic of fake chips and transistors out there.

Many varieties, which ones are fake?
Anyone know? Mine look most like the top picture.
